James McAvoy and Danai Gurira present John Warhurst and Nina Hartstone with the Oscar for Best Sound Editing for their work on “Bohemian Rhapsody" at the 91st Oscars in 2019.
I don’t care what negativity people have about the film, it deserved all 4 oscars it won. I’ll never forget 13 year old me who had just discovered Queen from this movie, watching this on tv. Here I am 3 years later and Queen is still my favorite band
@@GabrielSilva-br8nl It's not much of a prize if most people agree that it was underserved. My condolences that you can't look past such shallow justifications.
A sound editor is a creative professional responsible for selecting and assembling sound recordings in preparation for the final sound mixing or mastering of a television program, motion picture, video game, or any production involving recorded or synthetic sound. Sound editing developed out of the need to fix the incomplete, undramatic, or technically inferior sound recordings of early talkies, and over the decades has become a respected filmmaking craft, with sound editors implementing the aesthetic goals of motion picture sound design. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recognizes the artistic contribution of exceptional sound editing with the Academy Award for Best Sound Editing. There are primarily three divisions of sound that are combined to create a final mix, these being dialogue, effects, and music. In larger markets such as New York and Los Angeles, sound editors often specialize in only one of these areas, thus a show will have separate dialogue, effects, and music editors. In smaller markets, sound editors are expected to know how to handle it all, often crossing over into the mixing realm as well. Editing effects is likened to creating the sonic world from scratch, while dialogue editing is likened to taking the existing sonic world and fixing it. Dialogue editing is more accurately thought of as "production sound editing", where the editor takes the original sound recorded on the set, and using a variety of techniques, makes the dialogue more understandable, as well as smoother, so the listener doesn't hear the transitions from shot to shot (often the background sounds underneath the words change dramatically from take to take). Among the challenges that effects editors face are creatively adding together various elements to create believable sounds for everything you see on screen, as well as memorizing their sound effects library.
@@jwelch5742 , *thank you for trying teaching 80 per cent of voters what sound editing is. Thank you for trying so hard. But I'm affraid it is very far from being enough to educate them.*
After watching the movie and bts I can understand why this won best editing. Voice editing, combining thousands of fan entries singing to Queen’s songs, and Live Aid concert. Just phenomenal!
A Quiet Place definitely should’ve won! That movie has unique sounds edited together eg the monster’s clicking sounds, just to name a few. The movie is literally revolves around SOUND then this happened...
Unfortunately the commentors here have no idea what goes into putting sound into a movie. Try watching the back story on all the work these two put in to create Live Aid recreation before you say they did not deserve their Oscars. Their peers did the voting and they know what was done for sound in this movie. Gold Derby had already predicted that wins in both sound categories could go to BoRhap based on the support in their own academies and surveys of Academy voters in general.
LOL Remember when those same people said Shakespeare in Love was better than Saving Private Ryan? Plus, all members pick the winners of these awards. Not all of the actors in the actors branch of the Academy know what was done for sound in the movie, or any movie.
@@connorw2k I did my homework. When I said their peers did the voting I was refering to their respective wins in their branches, CAS for sound mixing, and MPSE wins for Feature/dialogue, and Musical Feature. Bohemian Rhapsody won both branches biggest prizes before entering into the Oscar voting. The branches are voted only by sound members. That is why both sound awards were not a surprise at the Oscars, they were already favored by sound experts to take those categories.
@@lehcaraz1 Ok, stop right there. What exactly do you believe is the top prize at MPSE? Dialogue and ADR? LMAO. War for the Planet of the Apes won that award a year ago. Did that even get nominated at the Oscars?
@@connorw2k Also won Musical Feature. Give it up. You have no defense for your argument. I have put forth my defense with facts. Just shut up already. I am tired of people arguing about awards they know nothing about but think they are the experts. Done.
I watched Rami’s acceptance speech in addition to this one, I’m so disappointed that nobody acknowledged Canadian singer Marc Martel who voice we hear throughout the movie. Marc has a singing voice that is a reincarnation of Freddie, it is not an impersonation it is his natural god given voice. It sure would have been nice to see some acknowledgement of Marc because he brought the musical aspect of this movie to life.
@TJP 123 Who the fuck are you? "Explain." Is that a demand? I don't have to prove myself to you, buddy. You are nobody - I don't need your validation. I have an idea of what it is, it's a basic understanding of it, but I'm not gonna share it with just any fucker who feels like proving themself to be right.
@DARIUS-PETRU SALE BS. Black Panther wasn't robbed. It won the following: Best Original Score Best Costume Design Best Production Design But most importantly, it got a historic Best Picture nomination, the first for a superhero/comic-book film.
Roma would’ve been a great pick for this and Mixing (May not be the obvious choice for those who watched the movie on Netflix/their TVs without a high quality sound system, but if you watched this in a movie theater you’d know just how immersive the sound design was in this movie, truly breathtaking). But if not, literally any other pick would’ve been fine... EXCEPT for the one that actually won... 😑
@@didikachhangte2197 So it is two years now and we all figure out which movie actually sucked. If you believe Bohemian Rhapsody is clear sound winner it's okay and remember The Academy has no final validation over anything. I'm just pointing out which one were more stronger, Test of Time or The Academy. Have a nice time watching "The Quiet Place 2".
First Man should've won this; without the Sound design, you don't get the full experience that Damien Chazelle puts the audience on while in space.......
@@connorw2k About having more dislikes than likes, go to the video about the movie winning film editing and write "It won't be that way for long". Let's see if you do it there too.
@@ledepi34 The ratio for film editing isn't as close as it is here (for good reason). This video already has more likes than dislikes at this point anyway. I was right after all.
If you watch the actual live aid concert and compare to the movie, they ripped the exact sound audio from the concert and insert it into the movie. So really, A Quiet Place should have won.
They did rip the audio but they also added in real audience vocals (back in 2018 there was a contest called Put me in Bohemian where people sent in vocals of themselves singing songs from the Live Aid scene, and they mixed that with the audio from Live Aid)
